Let's do Mr Ballin by Nature
Jimi Hendrix - Quality SRV - Admire his talent , hate his material Clapton - The double glazing salesman of blues Queens of the Stone Age - Lost the plot big time , bring back Oliveri Bush - If there's one thing I hate more than turgid quazi-grunge lite American stadium rock it's turgid quazi-grunge lite American stadium rock written by Brits who really ought to know better. Pacewon and Mr. Green (Hip hop fans get their CD) - No Soapbox Paradox - Eh? Gimp - Eh? Shad - Eh? ACDC - 10/10 if your referring to the Bon Scott era Collective SOul - No Wayne (puts firefighting suit on) - Eh? the Who - Better when they were making pop records Boston - yawnathon soft rock Biggie smalls - I don't care if he has good 'flow' or whatever people say , his material is soul sapping dross. THe Aquabats! - The Aquashits , See what I did there? RHCP - Red Hot Shitty Peppers , And there? Foo Fighters - Have made the same album over & over again for the past 10 years RAGE - Fisher Price 'my first political shouty type band'. For people who want to listen to The Clash but can't be bothered with all those slow boring songs , or people who would listen to Crass but can't deal with having a chick doing the singing. Jack Johnson - See first post Tom Petty- A man who has made an entire career at being unspectacular Deals Gone Bad - Eh? I'm going to list the bottom 25 in my lastfm , just for a change. Punishment of Luxury Sad Lovers and Giants The Field Mice Thoughts of Ionesco Datarock Lush James White and The Blacks Lard Volcano, I'm Still Excited!! Q65 Electrelane Tegan and Sara The View Ian Brown Nikki Sudden & the French Revolution Laptop Little Barrie Holly Golightly & The Brokeoffs Damien Youth The Stench Band The Duke Spirit Silver Sun KRS-One Cutting Pink with Knives Thee Mighty Caesars |
The View, chortle.
|
I only listened to that album because they were supporting Primal Scream and I wanted to see what they were like.
As you can see it was only played once. |
I could only give opinions on 7 of urbs bottom 25. Not exactly engrossing reading for anyone!
|
I love The Duke Spirit though, brilliant first album.
|
KRS-One is considered classic hip-hop, I've never really been able to get into his work though. Sadly, I haven't heard of any of the other artists on your list
here's mine: Mos Def Lupe Fiasco Nas The Killers Arctic Monkeys Portishead Pink Floyd Air Gorillaz The Strokes A Tribe Called Quest The Roots Blackalicious Radiohead Cee-Lo Common Outkast Mf Doom Del Tha Funkee Homosapien The Flaming Lips Nujabes Sway DaSafo Massive Attack jimi Hendrix Gnarls Barkely |
Wow Urban, totally harsh, you pretty much took the sh*t on all of Mr. Ballins top artists. :laughing:
Troy: Mos Def - Pretty damn good. Lupe Fiasco - ... Nas - Great. Illmatic ftw. The Killers - I think they're trash, I hate most of these "revival" bands. Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Think I Am was a solid debut, but they really overhyped the hell out of this band. Portishead - Awesome, Beth Gibbons has one of the most amazing voices I've ever heard. Pink Floyd - I'm wearing my DSOTM t shirt right now. =) Air - Excellent, Moon Safari is THE chill album. Gorillaz - I prefer their first album, but Gorillaz are probably the best mainstream pop act there is right now. The Strokes - Good but incredibly overrated. A Tribe Called Quest - I think Low End Theory is an album everyone should hear even if they don't like hip hop, thats just how good TCQ is. The Roots - I like them, not as much as everyone else though. Blackalicious - ... Radiohead - Sigh, I'm running out of stuff to say without sounding cliche, turns out I'm not gonna see them at Lollapalooza like I wanted. :( Cee Lo - He's great but I'm not too big on him. Common - Need to hear more from him but he is really good. Outkast - I like their older stuff, but I don't want to hear anything from Speakerboxx/The Love Below ever again. MF Doom - Great, I need to check out Madvillian. Del Tha Funkee Homosapien - I like what I've heard, I need to hear more. The Flaming Lips - Amazing. Nujabes - ... Sway DaSafo - ... Massive Attack - They're great, I've been getting into them more. jimi Hendrix - He really got me into good rock music, and I used to be really into him. Gnarls Barkely - Good but overrated. Next 25, skipping a few artists that are on there because of my brother. DJ Shadow Ramones Tom Waits Portishead Mr. Bungle Gang of Four Rage Against the Machine Primus X Neil Young Beck Van Halen Public Enemy Gong Weezer Greenslade Dinosaur Jr DangerDoom Ozric Tentacles Johnny Cash The Kinks Hawkwind Roxy Music Aphex Twin Sigur Rós |
@ TROY 148
I really like (most of) your taste in hip-hop...What do you think of Dilated Peoples or the J5 or Talib Kweli? Did you like the Blackstar album? |
Quote:
But really, I am just happy that Urban liked Hendrix. Recently some people have been saying that Hendrix was wildly overrated. :nono: Oh and The Only Color that Matters is Green is a very well done hip hop album by Pacewon and Mr. Green, no idea why you gave it a no. |
DJ Shadow - Eh, never liked him at all.
Ramones - pretty good, prefer the Clash though. Tom Waits - Never liked him Portishead - Who? Mr. Bungle - Too avantgarde for me. Gang of Four - Who? Rage Against the Machine - yuck, i used to like them but they only have 4 listenable songs...not into their music, but I give them some credit for pioneering that 'rapcore' crap or whatever Primus - Great band, love Les Claypool. Him and McCartney are who got me interested in bass. Favorite is 'Mr. Krinkle' X - It's sexist but apart from Bjork and Nico I don't like female singers in bands too much. Neil Young - He's alright, don't listen to him much though Beck - My favorite active (and in his prime still) solo artist Van Halen - Never liked their music at all. 'Eruption' was such a waste, could have used it in a real song. Never liked it anyways, because all I could do was say 'Wow he's pretty good'. Meant nada to me. Public Enemy - Meh Gong - Love 'em. Weezer - Never had been a fan. Greenslade - My brother likes them. He's into a ton of progressive rock / hard rock / metal. Their okay I suppose, better sounding than Van Halen. Dinosaur Jr - Never listen to them much but their alright DangerDoom - Who? Ozric Tentacles - Never heard of them Johnny Cash - My favorite 50s guy The Kinks- Love 'em. Got 4 albums and they all play nice Hawkwind - Love that stuff, I only got 'Space Ritual' but I love their sound. Roxy Music - Good band, pretty underrated. Aphex Twin - Not into electronic music Sigur Rós - Have only heard of them, love to listen to some of their music though. My next 25 Flaming Lips Bob Dylan Primus Jimi Hendrix Paul McCartney Johnny Cash Rolling Stones Talking Heads Eric Clapton Wilson Pickett The Zombies Brian Eno The Police Jefferson Airplane The Kinks Buddy Holly Simon and Garfunkel Stevie Wonder Gong Ringo Starr (laugh all you want) Lou Reed The Hollies Chuck Berry Captain Beefheart Fleetwood Mac |
Flaming Lips -One of the top bands of today, Soft Bulletin is one of the best albums off ALL time
Bob Dylan -great songwriter but he nasally voice grates on me Primus -never got into these guys,,,great talent though Jimi Hendrix -never cared much for his voice but you gotta respect him Paul McCartney - the man that released RAM will always get a positive score Johnny Cash - no better country artist...ever Rolling Stones - great up to 81, could care less about anything after Talking Heads- I like 4 songs...that's it Eric Clapton -can't stand Mr. Adult Contemporary ...lost his edge years ago Wilson Pickett - love his work The Zombies -Odessey & Oracle is the best album ever Brian Eno - have not heard much The Police -4 good albums out of 5 Jefferson Airplane -a little overhyped but I still like them The Kinks -the Gods themselves Buddy Holly - Like Chuck Berry, one of the true innovators of Rock n' Roll Simon and Garfunkel - Love these guys Stevie Wonder -early stuff=good later stuff=awful Gong -have not heard Ringo Starr (laugh all you want) like about 2 dozen songs Lou Reed - Except Metal Machine, he puts out nothing but gold The Hollies -Just finished getting my 11th Hollies Album Chuck Berry -See Buddy Holly Captain Beefheart- have not heard yet Fleetwood Mac Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac is the bomb...anything else is mediocre (although I love Kiln House) Instead of my top 25 bands here are my recent 25 most played The M's Simon & Garfunkel Cloud Cult Venus Matt Costa The Creation The Delays Deerhunter Great Lakes Myth Society Paavoharju Man Man Tapes N' Tapes Frightened Rabbit Blitzen Trapper Kingsbury Manx Okkervil River The Seeds The Sonics Manfred Mann The Move Happy Ashtray Los Halos The Hollies The Bees (or Band Of Bees) Sparklehorse |
I'd reply but I don't know most of those. I will however print it out and give them a shot.
|
I prefer Nicks era Mac to Green era by a great deal.
Outside of Cream and Zep I've been too big on blues rock bands. |
